Troubled Times Lyrics - Promised Land - Dar Williams

When you think you've found something 

Worth holding on to 

Were you reaching for attention 

Hoping she would notice you? 

Collecting bottles and thrown away cans 

Like she was returnable 

One day would refill your hands 

How she loved you, all you imagined 

Fit so well into your plan 

Maybe one day soon it will all come out 

How you dream about each other sometimes 

With the memory of how you once gave up 

But you made it through the troubled times 

Pining away every hour in your room 

Rolling with the motion, waiting 'til it's opportune 

Sitting there watching time fly past you 

Why do tomorrow, what you could never do 

How she loved you, all you imagined 

Everything you put her through 

Maybe one day soon it will all come out 

How you dream about each other sometimes 

With the memory of how you once gave up 

But you made it through the troubled times 

And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing 

Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins 

The ways the days and hours pass you'll never understand 

Falling like rain through your hands 

Maybe one day soon it will all come out 

How you dream about each other sometimes 

With the memory of how you once gave up 

But you made it through the troubled times 

Maybe one day soon it will all come out 

How you dream about each other sometimes 

With the memory of how you once gave up 

But you made it through the troubled times
